So I started talking to a girl at this party last night and we hit it off pretty well, I spent like 20 minutes sitting on a sofa talking to her and everyone else ended up just leaving us alone. I didn't really know anybody at the party and there was a lot of girls there, so I had the chance to practise opening and gaming a few of them, but this girl was the one I was most interested in by far.

I was aware of my body language - leaning away from her slightly, sometimes mirroring her actions etc. I ran the cube on her which went pretty well and she said that what I told her about herself was quite accurate. She kept trying to give me alcohol since I wasn't drinking (I'm currently on a strict diet to bulk up and gain some more muscle before I cut again) and I made a joke about her trying to get me drunk and she said that's exactly what she was doing. I kinda forgot about kino, which might have set me back a little, though there was lots of room on the sofa and we were sitting right next to each other. There was a lot of fluff talk. At the start I kinda blanked and couldn't really think of any routines, so instead I just started talking to her and had a decent conversation. I think I should probably look more into embedding commands and other NLP techniques since they seem more versatile than just running routines that someone else has scripted.

Anyway, we have a mutual friend and I told her that the next time I have people over for drinks she should come along. She agreed to that, and we started talking some more. As soon as she agreed I should've asked for her number, but I forgot and just continued talking about something else. Then I remembered and was about to ask for her number but I hesitated for a couple of seconds and my friend came and sat down with us and I didn't really want to ask when he was there. In hindsight I should've just asked her regardless of who was there. After that she started to help with tidying up since the night was coming to a close and I didn't really get a chance to ask her after that, so as I left I just told her I'd message her on facebook about it. Again, in hindsight I should've just said "Oh before I leave, you should give me your number so I can text you when I have people over", but my friends were in a hurry to leave and I kinda pussied out and just said bye, returning a hug; I don't know why since the IOI's were there and I know she told my friend she thought I was hot. I guess the irrational fear of rejection got the better of me, or maybe I just didn't want to make it obvious to everyone around us that I was hitting on her.

So the question is, do I message her today and then get her number or should I wait a few days before talking to her? I realize this is probably a pretty AFC question but I wouldn't mind getting peoples perspective on it since time-frame is probably pretty important.

Also I'm about 80 - 90% certain she's attracted to me, so why did I hesitate on asking for her number? Maybe its because I'm not used to being completely sober when I game girls.

Any advice and/or criticism is more than welcome
